Building System Options for All-Electric New Construction

An overview of best practices for all electric designs for various building types.

This document outlines known best practice system options for new construction buildings as they relate to electrification of major end uses. This document is intended to guide the building industry to available technology options and their applications. These recommendations are primarily for buildings in ASHRAE Climate Zones 1 through 5. While this document is primarily for new construction buildings, it discusses electrification retrofit applications at a high-level.

There is one table for a large set of distinct building segments and end-uses, each covering technology solutions, major manufacturers, and pros/cons to weigh. For more information please visit AllElectricDesign.org. This document is brought to you by WestLight Energy and Silicon Valley Clean Energy, with the help of TRC Companies, DNV-GL, Guttman and Blaevoet, Meyers+, Redwood Energy, and SmithGroup.
